Listen to a clip of David Barrett "One Shining Moment" (MP3). ![]() The next thing I knew, I had this inner dialogue going on and somehow ‘one shining moment’ came out of my mouth and I knew exactly what I was going to do. Then the phrase came to me, that he was in the moment. I’d been to Nashville, I’d done the whole thing, I thought ‘I can’t write that.’ (The evening I wrote the song) I was playing at a bar, I had finished my night’s work, I was looking at ESPN, watching Larry Bird, and the most beautiful waitress in the world sat down next to me I tried to explain to her how amazing (Bird) was. “I had made a personal decision that I was going to write about things I knew and cared about. She’s a remarkable talent - genuinely thoughtful, genuinely classy and genuinely humble.”īarrett, who sat down with over coffee recently to talk about “One Shining Moment,” said he wrote the song in about 20 minutes in 1986 after seeing basketball star Larry Bird on TV. “She kept on saying ‘Where did this come from?’ She was really into it. “She - and I don’t say this out of braggadocio - really liked the song,” Barrett said of Hudson, who he worked with in Los Angeles during recording sessions for the song in March. This year there will be a twist - pop star and Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson recently recorded a new version, which will mark the end of the broadcast on Monday, April 5. That’s because a song he wrote, “One Shining Moment,” has been used in CBS’ televised coverage of the event for almost 25 years, airing at the very end of the championship game postgame show, after interviews and commentary.

There’s no need to worry about occasionally indulging in a margarita. If you’re of legal drinking age and don’t have any health conditions that make alcohol particularly unsafe for you, it’s OK to enjoy a margarita on occasion - regardless of calorie count. While keeping an estimate in mind may help you stay on track with health goals, calorie counts aren’t always reliable, and it’s best to avoid thinking of nutrition as calories alone. Remember that calories are just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to the nutritional value of the foods and beverages we consume. Ratios vary according to taste and preference.ġ oz (29.6 mL) Cointreau, 2 oz (59 mL) tequila, 1 oz (29.6 mL) fresh lime juice, ½ cup sliced strawberries Tequila, lime juice, agave nectar, orange juice (optional). Restaurants typically mix a premade, sweet and sour margarita mix with tequila.ġ oz (29.6 mL) Cointreau, 2 oz (59 mL) tequila, 1 oz (29.6 mL) fresh lime juice, blended with ice Have it straight up, on the rocks or (my preference) somewhere in between with just three large ice cubes.1 oz (29.6 mL) Cointreau, 2 oz (59 mL) tequila, 1 oz (29.6 mL) fresh lime juice, poured over ice Most recently, they perfected their recipe for this crisp, slightly tart cocktail: Maestro Dobel (a blend of reposado, añejo and extra añejo) tequila, fresh lime juice, Splenda and a splash of Agavero (orange liquor made with Agave Nectar). Just like the Irish.Įver devoted to its customers, Los Tios began serving low-calorie margaritas six years after a request from a bodybuilding regular. Similar to Cyclone Anaya's, Celtic Gardens uses Avion tequila as its base but then sweetens the Skinny Señorita with agave, giving it a taste that's warmer, earthier and friendlier. Who knew an Irish watering hole would be home to one of the city's best low-calorie margaritas? Well, um, I didn't, until two weekends ago when I had about four of them. ![]() And now that you've saved all the calories, you can go for the Jumbo (21 ounces) size.Īt El Real, you may eat "your grandfather's Tex-Mex" but you can drink your skinny single aunt's margarita in the form of "La Flaca." Made with lime, agave and Espolón blanco tequila, this margarita is almost indistinguishable from the full-calorie house version, and, some even say, just a bit better. Diners (or, ahem, drinkers) have their choice of Avion silver or reposado tequila, which is blended frozen or on the rocks with lime juice and Splenda. Get it while you can since the River Oaks location is not long for this world.ĭon't worry this margarita will still get your head spinning. With just Patrón, Cointreau and fresh lime juice, the Skinny Margarita - served on the rocks - is strong and crisp and pulls no punches. Here are my Top 5 low-calorie margarita options: ![]() Thankfully, many Houston establishments have jumped on the skinny cocktail bandwagon. ![]() My biggest weakness is margaritas at mainstream bars and restaurants, which tend to use high-calorie commercial mixers. In the spirit of a healthy start to the New Year, I'm trying to cut back on excessively sugary beverages. ![]() ![]() In other words, they are stand-alone pieces. The difference to those already in the frames, is that these prints come encased in the mat, rather than it just being a pretty topical piece for the frame. Matted prints are likely more familiar to most, since they are commonly seen in framed pieces across the globe in family homes. These are absolutely great for displaying individually or in a group on an easel for the smaller sizes, as keepsakes in an archival image box, or for use in frames. In short, the art print is mounted onto the substrate for ultimate protection against warping and damaged corners. Mounted prints are very similar visually to a regular paper print, but with an extra rigid backing meant to provide stability and protection. Not all prints are created equally, and this blog post is going to help you know the differences between them, know when you should splurge and invest in the quality ones, and know when you can take advantage of the bulk sale at your local print lab. A piece of paper that has a photo on it and I can do things with it like frame it and it will last forever. ![]() Let’s be honest, to the eyes of most, a print is a print is a print. More than the majority of you are probably reading the title on this blog post and don’t know what either of those options even are, let alone which option is better… The truth is, I don’t expect you to know any of it!

She then stated to him that he shouldn't be leaving customers to which whom he is working with unattended and needed to grab another employee to assist with background check completion if he needed to do so. She proceeded to look down then hall and sees Jeff taking a break. She then proceeded to ask whom I was working with, I stated "Jeff". She assisted me as much as possible, considering there were 3 others she had been assisting. He left me there un-attended, having to ask a young lady for assistance. He then proceeded to take me to the rear of the store to do the background check. The entire time Jeff had an attitude by way of his body language, stance, and facial expressions. I tried to describe Scott as best as possible forgetting his name completely. I asked if the manager was in because he'd sold me a Saint Victor two days ago and I wanted to pay the layaway off. I was greeted by a rude salesperson named Jeff. I placed the item on Layaway for 2 days and came back to pay it off. He showed me a few options in which I chose the Springfield Saint Victor. I told him I was in the market for an AR10 chamber in. Scott the manager came over and asked if I needed any assistance. ![]() He is a credit to this business and they need more staff like him! Thank you Tony K for making our day so special. We had the most fabulous hour on the range- Tony was professional, informative and fun. Then we approached the counter to pay for range time and were informed (none too pleasantly) that since we were first time shooters- we could not shoot today as there were no instructors in store - disappointment is not the word!! We browsed in the shop and selected a tee-shirt and approached a different counter to pay- it was here we were served by Tony K- he asked if we had been on the range and I explained no instructors were available- he very kindly volunteered to take us onto the range. ![]() We signed all the necessary forms and waivers, provided photo ID and watched a very informative 8 minute safety video. The office phoned CSA to check tourists could shoot and we were told to go straight down. We were visiting from Ireland and found a flyer for colonial shooting academy (CSA) in the tourist information office. And a great place for anyone wanting to take some classes anywhere from "women's only basic intro to handguns" to advanced tactical shooting on the move behind barrier classes. I bet it would be staff intensive to separate somehow, but would be a plus for sure if there were handgun only times or separate ranges. Very hard to shoot well with a precision slow fire handgun when the lane next to you opens up with a rapid fire AR15 or a shotgun. My one wish is that there could be a way to make some separation of shooting types. With a wide range of rentals available it offers a nice place to try out a gun of interest. With walk in and monthly membership options pretty much can meet the needs from beginner to occasional to expert shooters. But they respond quickly to phone requests. I wish the online scheduling app was easier to use. But ask enough questions and you will get answers. Most of the range and retail staff obviously are shooting hobbyists and knowledge varies a lot. Some limited availability of sessions allowing holster draw shooting for those that have training for that. Introductory classes, some women only, to basic and advanced shooting sessions and "dynamic" shooting groups. They also offer a wide variety of classes open to the public. This range staffs each shooting area with a safety officer and does a good job of keeping the focus on everyone's safety. A really diverse mix of customers means that some professional or skilled shooters along with couples and friends shooting for fun. Target lighting is flexible, but shooting lane lighting is minimal for shooting position. Lightning is good, but not great for precision shooting. ![]() ![]() ![]() The recipe is not all that wonderful.Grilled Chicken Thighs with Thyme and Lemon are the perfect, easy summer grilling recipe. I ended up with barely cooked chicken, incinerated roast asparagus, black lemon slices (the ones on top the ones underneath the chicken were fine and were the only good thing about this recipe), a smoky kitchen, greasy oven. Do what the smart people on this page (not me) have done and brown the chicken in a skillet and cook at a more normal temperature for more time. There is no need to cook chicken thighs at 500 degrees. This recipe should have been named something like how to incinerate dinner without even trying. Might take the note to double the garlic next time as well Next time I'll know better! Other than that, it was delicious. Y'all were right about doubling the cooking time - I had to keep popping it in and out to check on it. I used 2 1/2 pounds of chicken thighs, otherwise I followed the recipe to the letter. Do make sure your oven is clean, though, as the 500 degree temp will fill your house with smoke if there is residue from past cooking escapades. This recipe is great because it requires minimal prep and a delicious result. Since our daughter left for college I've been trying to spend less time in the kitchen. I used high quality lemon olive oil but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It just needs a bit of fixing to bring out the flavors.Įasy and delicious. It might be a better idea to infuse the oil and let the flavors marry one another before applying to the chicken. ![]() I would like to try this again but increasing the herbs and allowing to marinate for a couple of hours or over-night. Other than that there was not much flavor. I used the thigh and legs attached to one another and cooked it for 5-7 minutes longer (in my toaster oven) and they were perfectly cooked. I'm hopeful that all the reviewers that said it's worth the smoke are right. I can't give it a fair review just yet as my eyeballs are still burning from the amount of smoke that filled our apartment.opened the front door, the garage door and 2 windows around the kitchen and it's still smoky. Even before it came out of the oven we agreed this was the last time we'd try this recipe. We had a symphony of smoke alarms going on and we had to open up all the windows¿ which isn't so great on a cold January night. The chicken was juicy and good, but there was SO MUCH SMOKE! Wow. ![]() I think this was a good compromise as the chicken was crisp skinned and very moist and delicious! A quick tasty dinner. I cooked it for 22 minutes more and there was much less smoke at this temperature. I turned the temperature down to 425 at the 10 minute mark when adding the lemon slices. I made this exactly as to the recipe and there was a lot of smoke. Great with roasted asparagus and fresh corn muffins.Ībsolutely perfect.We loved it as is. Used lots of fresh thyme, large garlic cloves and added a splash of white wine (happened to have some in my hand.) when I added the lemon, which was half way through. Our smoke alarm is beside the kitchen and it causes my dog great distress when it goes off so I cooked these at 400 for about an hour. Used 450 degree oven to avoid smoke, which seemed to work. ![]() Also had to go with some chicken breasts, which had to be kept in a little longer. Used a little more thyme (removing most of the leaves from the sprigs) and lemon than called for. Super simple to make and results are fantastic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Took forever to get checked in and NO ONE smiled or welcomed us. Still dont understand what the problem was there but thank goodness a manager happen to be walking by and solved the issue. When you were lucky enough to get into a bonus it would pay out $3.50.…įrom the minute we checked in it was nothing but problems! We had booked 2 king rooms and a 3rd king with an adjoining Queen. I had to go to the front desk and the greeting I received was, "I'm not open." The gaming sucked. They disregarded the customers and were not welcoming. When they were there they spent more time on their phones and not paying attention. The majority of the time we were in the Waterpark there were no lifeguards. The "Bar" in the casino was a girl in a closet selling beer and seltzers. They leaked grange juice on the floor and just left it. We watched staff cut threw the kitchen and dining area with big trash bags. The hot dogs had been sitting on the roller for a long time and were gross. We waited 20+ minutes to get 2 hot dogs and ice cream. The only food available was at the 777 Cafe or vending machines. They advertised 2 different restaurants and a snack bar in the water park for food. We stayed the weekend and will not be back. ![]() Hotels near Northland Community & Technical College.Thief River Falls Regional Airport Hotels.Hotels near The Shed Floral and Boutique.Hotels near Pennington County Historical Society.Thief River Falls Hotels with Fireplaces.Hotels with Hot Tubs in Thief River Falls.Thief River Falls Hotels with Laundry Facilities.Thief River Falls Hotels with Air Conditioning.Seven Clans Casino, Hotel & Indoor Waterpark, Thief River Falls Rooms.Seven Clans Casino, Hotel & Indoor Waterpark, Thief River Falls Pool.Seven Clans Casino, Hotel & Indoor Waterpark, Thief River Falls Features.Hotels near Seven Clans Casino, Hotel & Indoor Waterpark, Thief River Falls.Last Minute Hotels in Thief River Falls. ![]() ![]() ![]() TL:DR Easy money if you have good work ethic. However, the "game" is easy if you're just friendly and reliable. It's a "don't hate the player hate the game" kind of situation.

If you need to call off you can submit Protected PTO for that day and you will be paid for it as well as not have the call off count against you.Ī: You keep to yourself and just do your work as needed but stay an Associate Call offs work on a points system and that's where Protected PTO comes into play. PTO is used for days requested off in advance however you can request days off unpaid anyway if you don't have the PTO. PTO works on a hours worked rewards hours off basis and there is also a Protected PTO system separate from that that works on the same merit however it's a fixed rate whereas PTO becomes faster to obtain the longer you are there. Work schedule is very flexible and the PTO system is easily understandable and easy to use You a guaranteed 40 hours a week without a doubt if you're hired as a full time associate If you have no other choice but to work at one then I'm sorry.

I use currently use Notion exclusively for managing and planning my content using the Creators Companion, but if truth be told, that’s about it. How I Use Notion To Manage My Side Hustle However, I decided to bite the bullet and do it anyway and one thing I will say is that the template was worth every penny! I was able to customise it to my needs and I haven’t yet felt the need to play around with the other features or settings. By the way, if you haven’t checked out his videos, I highly recommend checking them out!Īfter not using Notion at all for most of 2022, I was sceptical about purchasing the template, especially due to the price and not knowing whether I would be able to commit to using it. However, this time around I took a different approach.Īfter watching several of Thomas Frank’s videos on YouTube, I decided to splash out one purchase his “Creators Companion” template which wasn’t a cheap investment. I wanted to start by saying that now that my side hustle has started picking up and now that I have a lot of content and side hustle projects to manage, I returned to Notion for that. ![]() Why I moved away from Notion I Went Back To Notion – Well, Sort of… ![]() Well, it’s been a year since I wrote that article and I thought it was the right time for an update and if you haven’t had a chance to check it out, I highly recommend you do! I also made the valid point that a project management app should work for you and that you shouldn’t have to spend a great deal of time building and fine-tuning it. My main argument at the time was that I was spending too much time customising it and trying new things instead of actually working on the tasks. Around this time last year, I wrote about moving away from Notion after heavily relying on it for University work and managing my daily life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Doppelgnger Attack: Theres a Clone power that does exactly that.
